I’d really like to know if the battery is a hardware issue or a software issue. I have read mixed things about battery life. I’m not sure if the x86 to arm emulation layer is sucking up too much power and/or PMIC issues.

Agree. One of the reasons why I want to go into depth. There is no software monitoring for voltage and current. Have to probe the hardware directly. One idea I have is to probe the power behavior of several apps that have native 86x and ARM versions. Power delta can be attributed to emulation overhead.

Btw I think you can use the NPU locally with the SDK https://www.qualcomm.com/developer/software/neural-processing-sdk-for-ai
